Avocado and Watercress Salad

Ruggiero couldn't figure out what made the salad dressing at New York's Natori so irresistible and was shocked when she finally got the secret ingredient out of the sushi chef: grated apple. Nor would you ever guess it from a bite of this dressing, since it's not at all sweet or fruity, just perfectly balanced and lip-smackingly delicious. Its slight pulp extends the unctuous richness of avocado and complements the clean assertiveness of watercress.

Perfect and simple. Elegant and inspired. I will repeat what another reviewer said - be careful not to add too much onion.

Terrific. I used a granny smith and a shallot because it was all I had on hand. Worked really well with watercress and a little arugula.

Terrific! I made it exactly as written - the dressing is a revelation. Its tart-sweet flavor is perfect for the blend of spicy watercress and buttery avocado. This will definitely enter the spring rotation!

I thought this sounded really interesting from the reviews and they were right. Really easy and unusual, my family loved it. I would definitely make it again.

Followed the recipe to a T - the salad was excellent. I had some leftover dressing, which I used on baby spinach with a bit of roquefort - also delicious.
